'Aina Restaurant represents the land and soul of Hawaii in its very name. The San Francisco restaurant began as a brunch-only spot before adding dinner service. Now there's a new six-course tasting menu option ($60) at dinner that was devised by chef/owner Jordan Keao (who hails from the Big Island) and chef de cuisine Chris Yang (who has cooked in Hawaii for the state's two biggest chefs, Alan Wong and Roy Yamaguchi). They utilize local and Hawaiian ingredients to celebrate island tradition while creating an elegant new tribute, served to six guests at a time at the restaurant's chef's counter.
